"Let's play something!" Venomkit begged Steelkit, prodding his pelt with a paw. Steelkit yawned and got up. "Ok, then, how about I'm the leader and you're a queen?" Venomkit grumbled. "I don't want to be a queen!" Steelkit stretched. "But you're a she-cat. You have to be a queen." Venomkit bristled. There was that word again! "I'm not a she-cat! I'm a tom!" Steelkit blinked for a moment and shrugged. "Um, okay. Then you can be the deputy." Venomkit seemed satisfied. He sat up straight. "What duties do you need me to carry out, great leader Steelstar?" Steelkit grinned. "Steelstar is such a great name. What do you think your name will be?" Venomkit thought about that. "Well, I want it to be something tough. Venomclaw, maybe?" His brother purred. "I'll make you deputy when I become leader." Venomkit playfully swatted him. "What if I become leader then?" Steelkit shrugged. "It doesn't matter, as long as you make me deputy. But I think Steelstar sounds better than Venomstar." "Can there be two leaders? Has that ever happened?" Venomkit wondered aloud. Their mother, Streamshine, padded over. "There can only be one leader." she mewed gently. "I hope at least one of you becomes leader someday. Won't that be such a sight?" "I hope Steelkit becomes leader. His leader name would be cooler." Venomkit meowed. "Whatever happens, I'm sure you'll be great warriors. And Venomkit, someday, you'll be a queen like your mother!" Tigerstripe, their father, added. Venomkit frowned. He didn't want to be a queen. "I don't want to be a queen. I'm not a she-cat!" he protested. Tigerstripe ruffled Venomkit's fur gently. "Of course you're a she-cat. Why, it's how Starclan made you!" Venomkit huffed. /I don't care what they say. I'm not a she-cat./
